Today I'm thankful for Staying myself.
So many people change when they get around money, get into a new relationship, or just make new friends.. plus so much more; And I'm just so very glad that no matter what I've been through, I've never switched up.
I've always stayed my (kinda) happy, loving, caring, helpful, loyal, respectful, honest, dependable, and real -- self. And no kind of money, pain, or person that enters my life; will ever be able to change that.
I am, and always will be -- me!
Photo is mine. Made it using Paint on my laptop.

Thank you, Julia! 
Although, I wish I could agree with the always upbeat part.. I can't. When I first started here, I was. But after being here two - three months, my depression really kicked in along with finding some jerks here, so I haven't been as happy and upbeat since. But I still try to be, and that's all I can do.

@Courtlynn You have always remained upbeat and positive to me, and on days when I wasn't feeling the greatest and really needed it.

That is a wonderful statement of affirmation. Also, staying the same when promoted to a higher position and salary level - how you treat people the same way, whether they are the janitors or the company's executive, will speak highly of your ideals and morals. It is sad that some people totally change whenever they climb higher the corporate ladder. Sometimes, those who do not even have that "authority or power" even start treating "lower" people in the hierarchy just because they think they are so much better. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone thinks the same way as you do? I know I will be thankful.

Exactly! Was always taught to treat everyone the same. Especially since that money and job can come out from under you at any given moment.
And yes, some people always think they're better than others - even those they make almost the same as! Its gross to me. Shows who they really are.

@BelleStarr I get that. Been there, never fully left it. But also easier said than done when always been picked on or people judge you online, like here for no reason.
